Spring 2016 was a typical outing for evening designer Pamella Roland. That translates into, that it was full of clothes for the Well-To-Do types that live on the Upper Sides of Manhattan (East and/Or West) or any city in the country were those who have Charity Balls, Art Exhibits or just Red Carpet moments in general. The collection, as usual, was not on the cutting edge, nor did it aspire to be so or have any need of doing such, Roland's customer isn't looking for any statement too far beyond a Magnificent entrance making piece that is well entrenched in the classic with a modern twist.
On that end, Roland delivered wonderfully, replete with new words to her fashion vocabulary to keep things interesting and current. Origami folds on some gowns were a welcome addition, especially since most often they showed off a vibrant reverse colour to the obverse of the fabric, deliciously executed in a Sea Blue Shantung dress with folds that revealed Apple Green underneath. Roland otherwise, was in her wheelhouse, with a bit of extra interest imbued by drawing inspiration from artist Frank Stella, which accounted for some of the more vibrant shades and geometrical aspects.
Roland's collection was in no way, groundbreaking, nor need it be so. Roland isn't a at-the-fore kind of designer, she's great at working the niche she's firmly embedded in and exalting her personal fashion ideals to their highest point. In the eternal words of olde, "If it ain't broke, Don't fix it!"
That's All.
